Add all of Sudha Murthy's books! She's published a bunch of novels in English and quite a few short story collections too! Twinkle Khanna is another author I'd recommend adding to your list. Srishti Chaudhary is a romance author. Saksham Garg and Nidhi Upadhyay are other authors I can name. You could include more books by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni. A similar author to her is Kavita Kane though I'm yet to read her books. If you have questions, let me know and I'll try updating here if more author/book names come to me!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Your comment is very valuable, I've made sure to add works written by the authors you mentioned 🫡
You're very welcome!! I suggest you add multiple if not all books by authors you've already put on the list so that readers can find your list on the page of the books and be led here to discover more!!
I didn't knew it worked like that, will do!!
